footballer coul face homicide charge - Ian (Cape Town)
Frightening story...
South Africa and Orlando Pirates super star Mbulelo "Old John" Mabizela could face charges of culpable homicide if his friend, who has been in a coma for seven days, does not recover.

Mabizela's friend, Nkanyiso Nzimande, sustained serious head injuries when the car which was driven by Mabizela veered off the N3 motorway near Howick, rolled and crashed into a tree.

Mabizela and two other passengers sustained minor bruises.

Inpector Du Preez of the Howick police station, where the accident was reported by Mabizela two days later, said he could face charges of culpable homicide if Nzimande did not recover.

The four young men are believed to have partied until the early hours of Saturday morning...

He said he was surprised how they had ended up on the N3 near Howick in the early hours of the morning.

Mabizela's car was written off. His brother, Sibongiseni, said the star was so traumatised and shocked ... etc etc

Ian's note: it is strongly rumoured the young man doesn't have a drivers license ...
it is also known that he enjoys an ale or six...
